    Is it me or has Kobe's range improved this year? He is consistently taking and making more threes and from deeper range than I ever remembered him being able to do.

    Then in the all-star game workouts he was the first western player to hit it from half-line and did it in the stars challenge.

    Currently shooting .351 from downtown.

    Yeah- he's def. improved his 3pt shooting, and no one's paying much attention, you also have to take into account that there are many a three he has to take deeper in the shot clock that are sometimes forced, driving that percentage down.

    He does have the NBA record of most 3s in a game. I love how hes not even a 3 point shooter and he has the record lol! That's why people hate him. HATERS!!!

    Some of those threes are head-scratchers though ... like that one he hit against golden state .... he made it, but why did he even shoot it?

    You guys do remember that game right???

    Damn, I can't remember the story but someone told Kobe my grandma can shoot 3-pointers better than you.

    THAT SAME EXACT NIGHT, he made 12 in one game, it was absolutely unbelievable.

    Who remembers the exact story? i'm blanking out right now

    TJ Simers told Kobe 'my daughter can shoot threes better than you.' Simers' daughter plays college hoops somewhere ....

    ^ And after that held a charity event featuring Simers daughter to 1) raise money for a good cause and 2) prove him wrong.
